California
After our Las Vegas trip, Brooke and I drove with my parents down to Southern California. Brooke got to meet her great Grandpa Siechert for the first time.
The women got involved in a jewelry sorting project that took up the better part of a day.
But not to worry, Brooke was in great hands being watched by Grandpa Dick and Great Uncle Bruce:
We spent one evening swimming and hanging out at Carl and Jan's.
Then we headed up to Sacramento to spend a week at my parents' house. Brooke did a great job in the car. I had been so worried that I originally thought about buying a plane ticket to fly up there. But Brooke barely cried at all. It helped that I was in the back seat with her.
Brooke enjoyed spending time with her grandparents, swimming in the hot tub, and honing those standing skills.
"I love my grandma."
"Who is this guy and what kind of crazy nonsense is he trying to teach me?"
Yes, she used the power cord to pull herself up. Very safe...I know.
But most of all, we just enjoyed being in the California sunshine!
